WeMate Spotlight: Meet Orlando Realtor® Maria Colón
If you’ve ever met Maria Colón, you know her energy fills the room. She’s warm, positive, and genuinely cares about helping people. Whether she’s guiding a first-time buyer, helping a family relocating to Florida, or walking clients through closing day, Maria brings a calm, caring approach that makes the process feel easy and personal.
A Foundation in Finance
Before real estate, Maria worked in banking. After earning her degree from the University of Central Florida, she built her career as a loan originator and branch manager. That experience gave her a deep understanding of how important financial literacy is when making big life decisions. When she started helping clients purchase their first homes, she found her calling.
Now, she combines her financial expertise with her passion for helping others. She takes time to explain every number, document, and option so clients can make smart, confident choices. To Maria, buying a home isn’t just a transaction. It’s a long-term investment in a better future.
How Maria Colon Guides the Process for Her Clients
Maria treats every transaction as if it were her own. She listens closely, sets expectations clearly, and communicates every step of the way. Her clients say she makes the process feel simple and stress-free because she breaks everything down into manageable parts.
From pre-approval to inspections to the closing table, Maria keeps things organized and moving forward. If challenges pop up, she stays calm and finds solutions. Her goal is for clients to feel supported and cared for throughout the entire process. For Maria, a successful closing isn’t just about handing over keys. It’s about celebrating a new beginning for someone who once thought that dream might be out of reach.
Supporting the Spanish-Speaking Community
As a bilingual Realtor fluent in English and Spanish, Maria plays an important role in helping Spanish-speaking families find their place in Central Florida. She’s worked with clients from Puerto Rico, Colombia, and many other countries who are starting a new life here.
Maria understands how important it is to feel comfortable and understood during the homebuying process. By explaining contracts and loan details in both languages, she helps clients feel confident in their decisions. That trust turns what could be an intimidating experience into an exciting one. For her, it’s about more than selling homes. It’s about helping families start a new chapter with confidence and joy.
Maria Colon’s Love for Florida Living
Maria grew up in Orlando after moving from Puerto Rico as a child. After college, she spent ten years back in Puerto Rico helping her family run their two auto parts stores, where she learned the value of hard work and teamwork. In 2014, she returned to Florida with her husband and two sons and has called it home ever since.
She loves Florida’s sunshine, beaches, and endless things to do. On weekends, you’ll find her family exploring new parks, going to airshows, or camping by the beach in their RV. They call themselves “eternal tourists” because they’re always discovering something new. That same love for Florida shows up in her work as she helps families find homes close to great schools, growing communities, and fun local adventures.
Finding Joy and Balance
Outside of real estate, Maria finds joy in connection and movement. She’s part of a vibrant Zumba community that inspires her and fills her days with laughter and friendship. What started as a workout turned into something much bigger — a sisterhood that encourages each other inside and outside the studio.
She also loves being part of Wemert Group Realty, where teamwork and collaboration truly matter. Maria appreciates how everyone shares knowledge, supports one another, and celebrates each other’s wins. She believes real estate should never feel lonely, and that being surrounded by the right people makes all the difference.
Opening Doors to New Beginnings
Maria believes every home tells a story. Each time she unlocks a door for a client, she feels proud knowing she’s helping someone open a new chapter. She combines her financial background, bilingual communication, and genuine care to make each experience meaningful.
For Maria, success isn’t about the number of homes sold. It’s about the lives she helps change and the dreams she helps make real.
At Wemert Group Realty, we’re proud to have Maria Colón on our team. Her kindness, dedication, and heart for others make her a shining example of what it means to serve with purpose.
